A Trip to Find Love

Chapter 1: The Arrival

By: Mystikalities

"OK EVERYONE!" Yelled Bulma. "LET'S GO ALREADY!" The whole Son-Briefs gang was headed out for a weekend of fun and relaxing— on a camping trip! Everyone had their bags and gear ready, and they were just about to leave. Here were the seating arrangements:

Son Family Car: Gohan, Videl, Pan, and Bra

Brief Family Car: Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks, and Goten

Bra was stacked with makeup bags and a million bags of luggage with clothes, and Pan right beside her was listening to some CDs through her headphones. It was still 6:00 AM on that Saturday morning, so Trunks and Goten decided to go to sleep in their car until they got to the campgrounds. Finally, the cars' engines started and they were on their 3-hour journey to the campgrounds…

"We're here!" Yelled an excited Bulma, surprising and waking up Goten and Trunks. The two hopped out of the car and took a good look around. Trunks was wearing khaki-colored cargo shorts and a dark blue tank top. Goten was wearing regular jeans with a dark blue hooded sweatshirt. They looked across to the car right behind them: the Son car. Bra and Pan were awake the whole time, chatting away, reading magazines, or listening to music on their headphones.

Pan was the first to step out of the car followed by Bra. Pan let out a good stretch while Bra started exploring the area. Pan was wearing a red tank top with her orange bandana, and denim short shorts.

Bra was wearing a short, Hawaiian print skirt with a light blue top that matched her hair. Trunks couldn't help but watch Pan while she stretched. *She looks really cute right now, all stretching like that…* Trunks thought to himself. Then he walked off toward Goten.

While he was walking away, Pan couldn't help but glance at her purple-haired cutie. *He looks so hot in that tank top… I wish he knew how I really feel about him…* She thought to herself.

"Hey Pan and Bra! You guys wanna go with us? Me and Goten are gonna check the place out!" Yelled Trunks.

"Sure!" Yelled back Bra and Pan in unison. *I want to do more than go with you Goten, I want to BE with you…* Bra thought to herself. They both walked over to the boys and they walked off.

Around the campground there was a playground, a lake, tennis courts, even little gazebos by the lake for picnics or watching the sunset. The four of them talked about plans of which activities to do first, and then started back to their campsite.

When they got back, Vegeta was already finishing up the barbecue ribs for dinner, and of course there were a lot of ribs to fill all the Saiyan stomachs. After dinner, the four kids walked around some more, each person hoping to get to talk to the person they really had feelings for. They were passing the playground that was next to the lake, and Trunks decided to try and get himself alone with Pan. He was actually planning to do this with Goten, who actually wanted to be alone with Bra.

"Hey Pan, come with me. I want to show you something." Trunks said as he motioned for Pan to follow him. Goten continued with his part of the plan. "Bra, let's go check out the swings." Goten said. Bra followed him.

*Wow, I'm actually gonna be alone with him! * Pan thought. She walked side by side with Trunks, carefully making sure she wasn't drooling. They stopped at the side of the water and Trunks sat down. At this, Pan sat down next to him.

"So what was it you wanted to show me, Trunks?" Pan asked. Trunks was working with something by his side so Pan couldn't see it even though she was trying to. "This." Trunks said, turning around to face Pan with a beautiful wildflower. "I saw this flower while we were passing here earlier, and when I kept looking around, I noticed that that was the only flower like that.

"Oh my gosh, Trunks, it's beautiful…" Pan smiled, took the flower, and gave Trunks a big, long hug. * I want to tell you how I feel Pan, but I'm scared how you'll react. * Trunks thought. But he didn't know that that was basically what Pan was thinking at that same time.

Bra and Goten then came over after talking a little on the swings, and they all sat and watched as the sun was setting on the horizon, making the sky glimmer with orange, yellow, and red.
